At the Pain Society of Oregon our mission is to "Promote the highest standards of professional competence and ethics in the treatment of pain disorders."
We consistently offer diverse and dynamic conferences to healthcare professionals of all kinds. But don’t take our word for it! Read testimonials from past conference attendees:
WOW!! I learned so much it is difficult to pick one thing that will be most useful. I can sum it up by saying I am even more convinced of the importance in treating the whole patient rather than pieces and parts of symptoms. The mind, brain, body and spirit connection to both treatment and management of pain is essential if we want folks to regain their lives.
I both learned new information and had previous knowledge reinforced, and feel enabled to be a much better advocate for my patients who are experiencing both chronic and acute pain.
I feel that I will be in a better position to advocate for more empathetic and appropriate intervention for the patients I encounter with chronic pain.
